I am the homepage editor and cover whatever crosses my keyboard. Before joining Forbes, I wrote for The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Daily and POLITICO. My career started with sports coverage for The York Weekly in Maine before I was old enough to have a driver’s license and has brought me to New York City (with the help of a lot of coffee). Mainer, surfer and (bad) movie aficionado.

“There have been some early-bird commentaries that the sale of the Clippers will result in a big tax bill for the Clipper’s owner Donald Sterling (due to capital gains tax and also losing estate tax benefits) – and that could very well be right” — Dean Zerbe. Read How Clipper’s Sterling Could (Maybe) Avoid A Tax Bill Today

“Based on NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s statement that included a $2.5 million fine and lifetime ban of Sterling from any further association with the Clippers and the NBA, it is evident that termination of Sterling’s ownership interest is the next contemplated remedial step.

FORBES news:

“I did something last week I almost never do. After nearly four years of posting on Forbes.com, I took a look at my cumulative statistics: 178 posts; 743 followers (on Twitter, it’s 3,429): 395,341 visitors; 782 comments; and 822,818 page views. I’ve also written two e-books, but I have no idea how many copies were sold. My monthly audience is small compared to others on our platform. Frankly, the numbers don’t matter much to me. My body of work is what’s important. It gives FORBES a voice in the noisy conversation about the media. Plus, it helps me process the past, present and future of our efforts to change 100 years of journalistic thinking” — Lewis DVorkin.
